The really terrible thing is that they cut the scene where he straight up tells kaneki and by extension, us the audience his whole plan in that same ludicrous manner, and we're supposed to think he's just batshit insane. But it was incredibly accurate.
Honestly I don't know what happens behind the scenes when they decide to animate a series but if they were really going to half ass it like this it really shouldn't be done in the first place. I haven't been this disappointed since the last iteration of berserk.

I've refrained from posting in this thread so far because i never thought this season was quite as terrible as everybody else seems to think (i'm not a manga reader, for the record), but this ep. seriously made me reconsider.
First, there's Mutsuki who's "character development" has just been cringeworthy, then being topped off by one of the worst depictions of sex i've ever been unfortunate enough to watch. It was basically just a sequence of stills with some awkward flashbacks inbetween and don't even get me started on that awfully intrusive song...the "he managed to knock her up on the first try" did give me a bit of a chuckle at least.

In the manga the sex scene is the same as the anime, and guess what? the images are so static. hahaha

She knew she was pregnant beforehand; that's why she's eating a burger, a food that's useless and disgusting to ghouls - because the half-ghoul half-human kid needs that nutrition.
Mutsuki commands a merciless squadron of investigators who drive motorcycles off rooftopsThose are bicycles thank you, the Oggai are underage and Supreme Leader Furuta would never do something as craven as have children drive motorcycles. Also the anime choked on giving them the helmets they were all wearing, this is a tragic oversight.
Luckily of all things Pierrot chose to lovingly depict Kaneki's and Touka's first time, so the anime is redeemed.

You're a genius aren't you? So in the future we just take the manga panels, put some sappy music over it and call it "anime", that would save a lot of time and money...

It was largely speaking a flaming pile coasting on the manga material it butchered, and an admittedly competent anime-original ending can't change that.

Her sensory abilities are the reason she was allowed into Aogiri in the first place. IIRC, they were showcased way back when Touka and co. went to rescue Kaneki from Yamori, as well as during the Auction Raid, and probably more times I can't recall off the top of my head.

Overall, Tokyo Ghoul didn't have a good anime adaptation.
First season was nice, and Re:'s first season was alright, but Root A and Re: season 2 completely butchered the manga.
Re: should have had 3 cours.
At this point, I don't imagine a remake any day soon but if one day it happens, I just hope they learn from all the mistakes of this lame adaptation.

The last episode was pretty good. I am sad to see the end of Toyko Ghoul

Oh, no no no no. Forgive me for disagreeing but I personally think that Tokyo Ghoul was just a mess. I knew as I was watching the first season they would have wanted to make it to the Jason scene. I wish they could have pulled a Shaft where it wouldn't have 12 but under 20 episodes. I wanted to say that :re season 1 was good but....ehhhh..... They did skip a lot of chapters too. Some that were pretty much making the anime-only watches confused. It had a LOT of potential but it didn't make it.
In the end, that's just what I think.
